The Secrets She Kept and You Will Know Me - Spotlights and Excerpts

Idgie Says:
Two new suspense novels are coming out on July 26th and I wanted to share them with you. These books are not similar in any way except that they contain secrets, mysteries, ambition and jealousy. You want juicy reading - you'll find it here.

Keith bears scars—both physical and emotional—from his childhood, but
he’s worked hard to overcome the past. After walking away from his
mother and her controlling ways five years ago, he’s built a new life in
LA. He’s also accumulated a fortune of his own. But as soon as he
learns of his mother’s death, he returns to Fairham. He feels he owes it
to his grandfather to put the family empire together again—and he’s
determined to find his mother’s killer.

Problem is…coming home to Fairham puts him back in contact with Nancy
Dellinger, the woman he hurt so badly when he left before. And digging
that deep into his mother’s final days and hours entails a very real
risk.

You Will Know Me

Little, Brown and Company

Release Date: July 26, 2016

Katie and her husband Eric have made their daughter Devon the centre
of their world. Talented, determined, a rising gymnastics star, Devon is
the focus of her parents' lives and the lynchpin of their marriage.
There is nothing they wouldn't do for her.

When a violent
hit-and-run accident sends shockwaves through their close-knit
community, Katie is immediately concerned for her daughter. She and Eric
have worked so hard to protect Devon from anything that might distract
or hurt her. That's what every parent wants for their child, after all.
Even if they don't realize how much you've sacrificed for them. Even if
they are keeping secrets from you . . .

A mother knows best . . . doesn't she?

Plotted with all the brilliance of Dare Me, and written with the compassion of The Fever, the astonishing You Will Know Me - dark and tender by turns -is an unforgettable novel by Megan Abbott.

The day "Claire" from Lost mentioned me!

Pat Conroy just told me that I take a foul art and give it a queenly air, then he kissed my hand.
